Concrete contractor work in Mesquite, TX
Frontier Mesquite Concrete Company is a concrete contractor in Mesquite, TX, covering 16 kinds of work for homes, builders and property owners. Most calls start with a slab that's cracked, sinking or holding water, or with a plan for something new. The price moves with the size and thickness of the slab, how much old concrete has to come out, how much base work the ground needs and the finish you pick. The schedule turns on the prep, any permit and inspection, and curing, the wait while new concrete hardens before you use it. Your own figure comes in the written estimate after I walk the job.
Concrete driveway building
We build new concrete driveways for homes, digging out and packing the subgrade, the ground the slab sits on, so it rests on firm footing.
Concrete patio construction
Want room out back for a grill and chairs? We pour patios sized for how you'll use them, sloped so water runs away from the house.
Stamped concrete services
Stamped concrete gets pressed with a pattern while it's still soft, so a patio, walk or driveway can look like stone, brick or tile.
Concrete sidewalk building
Walk to your door cracked or tripping people? We pour new sidewalks with control joints, cut grooves that give cracks a straight place to go.
Garage floor concrete
We pour garage floors with rebar, steel bars set inside the slab to hold it together, made for the weight of cars and tools.
Decorative concrete
Decorative concrete covers color, exposed stone and custom borders for homeowners who want a slab that suits the house instead of plain gray.
Concrete retaining walls
When a sloped yard keeps washing out, a concrete retaining wall holds the dirt back and gives you a level spot to use.
Concrete floor installation
We install interior concrete floors for homes, shops and commercial spaces, set level and finished for the way the room gets used.
Concrete pool decks
A pool deck has to shed water and give wet feet some grip, so we slope it from the pool and add a broom finish, a brushed texture.
Concrete steps construction
We build poured concrete steps for front doors, back porches and slopes in the yard, with every step the same height so nobody misjudges one.
Slab foundation building
For builders and owners putting up a house, shop or addition, we form, set steel and pour the slab foundation the building sits on.
Foundation installation
We install foundations for new homes, additions and commercial buildings, from digging and forming to steel and the pour, with any inspection worked into the schedule.
Concrete parking lot building
Need parking for a business, church or apartment property? We build concrete parking lots graded to drain and thick enough for the traffic they carry.
Concrete footings
Footings are the concrete pads and strips under walls, posts and additions, and we dig, form and pour them for builders and homeowners.
Foundation raising
When a slab or foundation has sunk and left floors uneven or doors sticking, we raise it back toward level and support it from below.
Concrete cutting
Need an opening for a door, a trench for a plumbing line or old concrete taken out in pieces? We saw-cut concrete with clean, straight edges.

Mesquite homes, yards and driveways
Mesquite sits mostly in Dallas County, with a small piece reaching into Kaufman County, and it's a city where people already spend a lot of time on concrete. The Mesquite Heritage Trail runs more than four miles of concrete walkways from three trailheads, City Lake Park has a half-mile trail around its stocked lake, and Florence Ranch Homestead is a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark.
Around those places, most of what we pour is for houses with driveways, patios and walks that have seen years of use, plus newer lots that need a slab added. If your project changes how your yard drains, check the city's floodplain page to see whether your lot is in a mapped FEMA floodplain before we plan the work. We're based right here in Mesquite, so these are the neighborhoods we work in every week.

About usFrom your first call to a finished slab
Call or send a request
You call (214) 429-3296 or send the form with a few lines about the job, like a cracked driveway, a new patio or footings for an addition. We get back to you within one business day to set a time for me to come out and see it in person.
I walk the job and write it up
I come out, measure and ask how you'll use the concrete, whether that's parking a truck or setting chairs out back. Then I tell you plainly what I'd do and send a written estimate showing what's in it and what isn't. It's free, and there's no obligation.
We prep, then pour
Once you say go, I set the date, line up materials and handle the permit and inspection when the job needs one. Our crew digs out, packs the base and sets the forms and steel. I book the truck only when that prep is done, and I run pour day myself.
Finish, cure and clean up
Our crew finishes the surface, cuts the control joints and cleans up the site before we leave. Then the slab cures, so I tell you when it's ready for foot traffic and when it's ready for your car, and you're set to use what you paid for.
Common concrete questions
How much does a new concrete driveway cost in Mesquite, TX?
It depends on the size, thickness and finish, and on how much old concrete and dirt has to come out first, so I price each job after walking it. A plain broom finish costs less than stamped or colored work, and a lot that needs extra base work costs more. Your written estimate shows the full figure and what it covers.
Why are concrete quotes so different from one contractor to the next?
Most of the gap is in the base, because it's hidden once the concrete goes down and it's the easiest thing to cut from a bid. A slab poured on dirt that was only raked level settles with that dirt. I'd rather spend your money on the base than on a fancier finish, and the estimate spells out the prep so you can compare bids line by line.
How long before I can use my new concrete driveway or patio?
You can walk on new concrete well before you can drive on it, because it keeps gaining strength as it cures. The wait depends on the slab, so I give you both dates before we pour. Getting on the calendar in the first place turns on the prep and any permit the job needs.
Is Frontier Mesquite Concrete Company licensed and insured?
Yes, we're fully licensed and insured. I started the business in Mesquite in 2023 after years building the daily schedule for a busy concrete company and then working on its crews. You can read more about us and how we work.
Do I need a permit for concrete work in Mesquite?
It depends on the job, so we check with the city before we set a date. Mesquite's Building Inspection division issues permits for new construction, repairs and remodels, and you can call them at 972-216-6212 with permit questions. When a permit is required, we handle it and work the inspection into the schedule.
Can a homeowner pull their own permit in Mesquite, TX?
Yes, if you own the house, live in it and have it homesteaded with the Dallas Central Appraisal District, the city lets you pull your own permit. Otherwise permits go through a licensed contractor on the city's online permit system. When you hire us, we pull what our work needs.
Do you guarantee your concrete work?
Yes, our work is satisfaction guaranteed. Ask me at the estimate about anything you want spelled out, and it goes in writing before you sign, so you know what you're paying for.
Will my new concrete slab crack like the old one?
Most concrete cracks somewhere, so the goal is to control where it cracks and keep the slab from sinking. We dig out and pack the base, set rebar where the job calls for it and cut control joints on time, so cracks follow those lines instead of wandering. We also slope the slab so water runs away from your house instead of pooling.
